48 Seats and Restraints
Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front seats have
adjustable head restraints in
the outboard seating
positions.
{Warning
With head restraints that
are not installed and
adjusted properly, there is a
greater chance that
occupants will suffer a neck/
spinal injury in a crash. Do
not drive until the head
restraints for all occupants
are installed and adjusted
properly.
If your vehicle has rear head
restraints that fold down,
always return them to the
full upright position
whenever an occupant is
seated in the seat.
Adjust the head restraint so
that the top of the restraint is
at the same height as the top
of the occupant's head. This
position reduces the chance of
a neck injury in a crash.
